Cumulative sentence

A court may order that sentences are to be served one after the other, rather than at the same time. For example, a person who is sentenced to 2 years imprisonment for one offence, and 2 years imprisonment for another offence, would serve a total of 4 years imprisonment under cumulative sentences.
